COVID-19大流行使许多南部非洲国家的医疗保健服务系统紧张。尽管如此，控制和消除疟疾的活动必须继续下去，特别是要尽可能减少因疟疾而住院的人数和比率。在2019冠状病毒病背景下实施加强疟疾控制/消除活动，需要采取措施保护卫生保健工作者及其服务的社区。因此，本综述的目的是在不增加卫生保健工作者和社区感染COVID-19风险的情况下，为及时实施疟疾控制提出创新思路。对寄生虫和病媒监测、诊断、病例管理、蚊虫病媒控制以及社区外展和增敏提出了具体建议。
The COVID-19 pandemic has strained healthcare delivery systems in a number of southern African countries. Despite this, it is imperative that malaria control and elimination activities continue, especially to reduce as far as possible the number and rate of hospitalisations caused by malaria. The implementation of enhanced malaria control/elimination activities in the context of COVID-19 requires measures to protect healthcare workers and the communities they serve. The aim of this review is therefore to present innovative ideas for the timely implementation of malaria control without increasing the risk of COVID-19 to healthcare workers and communities. Specific recommendations for parasite and vector surveillance, diagnosis, case management, mosquito vector control and community outreach and sensitisation are given.
